[[Indiana]] lies just over the border to the south, and the eastern fringes of [[Chicagoland]] aren't much farther away. In Michigan City, Indiana (the first town across the Indiana state line), the Lighthouse Place Outlet Mall offers discount shopping opportunities. Alternatively, to the north are a seemingly endless series of [[Lake Michigan Beachtowns]]. These include the much larger communities of Holland, St. Joseph/Benton Harbor, and South Haven.

Understand

Once a predominately rural area, in the past few decades Harbor Country has experienced significant tourist growth as travellers from nearby Chicago visit the area. The main highways of Harbor Country are lined with art galleries, farm stands, and trendy restaurants catering to this crowd. Many new cottages are also being built in the region due to the strong vacation home market. In addition to being a destination in its own right, Harbor Country is also a popular stopping point for vacationers heading to St. Joseph, Holland, or Grand Rapids.
